Identify product B obtained in following reaction.
\(\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CH}_{3} \underset{\Delta}{\stackrel{\mathrm{HNO}_{2}}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{A}} \frac{\mathrm{LiAlH}_{4}}{\text { ether }} \mathrm{B}\)

  1. A Ethanoic acid
  2. B Ethanal
  3. C Ethanol
  4. D Ethanamine
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Ethanamine

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CH}_{3} \stackrel{\mathrm{HNO}_{2}}{\rightarrow} \mathrm{A} \stackrel{\mathrm{LiAH}_{4}}{\text { ether }} \mathrm{B}\)
\(\mathrm{A} =\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{NO}_{2} \text {; Reduction by LiAiH }_{4} \text {; }\)
\(\mathrm{B} =\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{NH}_{2} \text { Ethanamine}\)
